Controlling power supply LV-application with other LV-applications

[SectorEffector]

Hello,

I have a small application that drives a power supply, it can regulate current and voltage.

This application has been build using the application builder and thus is an *.exe

Now I want wo write other stand alone applications with the builder, that can start and control

my power-supply program. Is this possible?

I can change the source-code of both programs, but when finished, I want to build them

with the application builder to get 2 stand-alone *.exe

Thank you very much for your time!

Hi Heinen,

you can use TCP/IP functions to build a communication between your programs. See the shipped example to get more information about it.

Hope it helps.

Hello Mike S81,

Isn't TCP/IP something that has to do with network communication?

I want to use my programs on the same pc.

Thx 🙂

Hi Heinen,

yes that´s right, but you can use it also to communicate between programs on the same pc, and the advantage is, if you need to use it later on two pc´s it´s simply possible.

I don't really think you need to delve into using TCP/IP, as that would probably involve potentially considerable change to your code. I would suggest looking at using the VI Server capabilities first.
